Coalition Formation under Uncertainty: The Stability Likelihood of an International Climate Agreement
Dellink, Rob; Finus, Michael; Olieman, Niels - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
Results derived from empirical analyses on the stability of climate coalitions are usually very sensitive to the large uncertainties associated with the benefits and costs of climate policies. This paper provides the methodology of Stability Likelihood that links uncertainty about benefits and...

Leadership and International Climate Cooperation
Schwerhoff, Gregor - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
Which kind of reaction can a nation or group of nations expect when leading by example in climate policy? This literature survey describes possible positive reaction mechanisms from different fields of economics, some of which have scarcely been linked to climate economics previously. One effect...

The Global Emission Game: On the Impact of Strategic Interactions Between Countries on the Existence and the Properties of Nash Equilibria
Heugues, Mélanie - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
In a context of laissez-faire, the propositions established in this paper shed light on the evolution of the problem of greenhouse gas (GHG) accumulation in the atmosphere for each type of strategic behaviour resulting from countries’ interconnection on global markets. In a framework of strong...

The Effect of Risk, Ambiguity and Coordination on Farmers’ Adaptation to Climate Change: A Framed Field Experiment
Alpizar, Francisco; Carlsson, Fredrik; Naranjo, Maria - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
The risk of losses of income and productive means due to adverse weather associated to climate change can significantly differ between farmers sharing a productive landscape. It is important to learn more about how farmers react to different levels of risk, under measurable and unmeasurable...

International Cooperation on Climate Change Adaptation from an Economic Perspective
Bruin, Kelly C. de; Dellink, Rob B.; Tol, Richard S.J. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
This paper investigates the economic incentives of countries to cooperate on international adaptation financing. Adaptation is generally implicitly incorporated in the climate change damage functions as used in Integrated Assessment Models. We replace the implicit decision on adaptation with...

Technology Spillovers Embodied in International Trade: Intertemporal, regional and sectoral effects in a global CGE
Cian, Enrica De; Parrado, Ramiro - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
This paper uses a dynamic CGE model to assess the intertemporal and spatial dimension of technology spillovers embodied in international trade within a climate and trade policy framework. Three are the main contributions of the study. First, to include endogenous factor-biased technical change...

Assessing the Role of Microfinance in Fostering Adaptation to Climate Change
Agrawala, Shardul; Carraro, Maëlis - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
Much of the current policy debate on adaptation to climate change has focussed on estimation of adaptation costs, ways to raise and to scale-up funding for adaptation, and the design of the international institutional architecture for adaptation financing. There is however little or no emphasis...
